Jeremiah Oyebode, author of The Roots: An Anthology who lives in the United Kingdom will not allow distance to be a deterrence in participating at the inaugural New Americans Book Fair on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, 5590 Karl Road, Columbus, Ohio beginning at 12pm.
A fiction, The Roots: An Anthology is a collection of short stories of African ‘origin’ that gives credence to family ties and its importance in the 21st century.
The stories capture the concepts of loyalty to one’s family and treachery, as it reverberates all through. The Root emphasizes the reasons why family members need to retain an ascendancy and get to know one another—the desire to stick to their roots—while acknowledging the unbridled strength and tenacity of two Nigerian youngsters who find themselves outside the shores of the country.
